Chapter 438: Scumbag Man and Shameless Woman, a Match Made in Heaven
Cecilia Vaughn saw the message from Fiona Vaughn, which was disguised as concern but was actually veiled with barbs, and immediately typed a response to send back.
——Don’t trouble yourself, just focus on preparing your own wedding.
When Fiona Vaughn received Cecilia’s text, she almost instantly pictured Cecilia’s usual cold and indifferent demeanor. Wasn’t this akin to punching a pillow?
The pride she initially felt from showing off instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of annoyance and frustration.
Fiona gritted her teeth, looking quite unwilling to accept it, and simply dialed her number.
She thought Cecilia wouldn’t answer, yet surprisingly, not only did Cecilia pick up, but her attitude was also exceptionally normal.
Fiona’s eyes swirled mischievously as she held the phone, feigning a pouty complaint.
"Sister... why won’t you directly answer my questions? I thought something big might have happened to you. The reporters outside are all talking about you and Mr. Law. Sister, could it be that you and Mr. Law are having a fake marriage?"
"Oh my, sister, I really feel sorry for you. Look at Mr. Law, he has so much money. Even if he’s busy, skipping the engagement ceremony is one thing, but how can he not even give you a wedding?"
"If someone who didn’t know better saw this, they’d think the Law Family was neglecting you as their daughter-in-law."
Fiona’s every word was voiced as if standing up for Cecilia, thinking it would make Cecilia lose her temper, but who knew the voice on the other end remained calm and indifferent.
"Adrian and I just prefer to keep a low profile, is that not allowed?"
Fiona’s smile froze on her face, thinking about how Adrian hadn’t spoken up about the issue yet, she tentatively asked.
"Sister, the internet is buzzing with rumors, saying that you and Mr. Law are in a fake marriage. If that’s not true, why don’t you have Mr. Law come out and clarify? Is he not paying enough attention to you..."
Cecilia saw that Fiona was still trying to drive a wedge between her and Adrian Law and couldn’t help but curl her lips in amusement.
"What, not denying it means it’s true? Fiona, do you have to hear that Adrian and I are splitting up at the civil affairs office tomorrow to be satisfied?"
Having her intentions so directly revealed by Cecilia, Fiona gave an awkward laugh, silently digging her red-lacquered nails into her palm, but her voice remained extremely delicate.
"Sister, how could you think of me that way? I’m just concerned about you..."
"By the way, sister, forget about everything else, you’ll come with Mr. Law to my wedding with Tyson tomorrow, won’t you? Given the current mess, I’m really worried you might not come."
Fiona paused, biting her lip, her voice extraordinarily soft as she pleaded.
"After all... sister, others aside, you are the most important family to me and Tyson... you’ll give us your blessing, won’t you?"
Hearing Fiona’s manipulative words, Cecilia let out a cold laugh.
——Back then, she was the one betrayed by these two and even falsely accused and imprisoned. And now Fiona had the audacity to ask her to bless a cheating scumbag and the mistress who replaced her?
Fiona’s tactics truly were audacious.
...
If it was three years ago, Cecilia might have felt her heart tighten with rage, but now all she felt was an absurd sense of hilarity.
Listening to the prolonged silence on the other end, Fiona’s eyes narrowed with a hint of triumph flashing in her pretty pupils.
——See, she knew this brat couldn’t possibly remain so calm, she must be fuming and tongue-tied right now.
Thinking about how she managed to snatch Tyson Law from Cecilia’s grasp and was about to hold a grandiose wedding, while Cecilia had a fake marriage with her reputation in shambles, Fiona felt a surge of secret satisfaction.
She intentionally pitched her voice to sound more pitiable.
"Sister, why aren’t you saying anything? Is it that you don’t want to attend my wedding with Tyson? I know it was our fault back then... but sister, you’re my only sister... I really wish I could have your heartfelt blessing..."
Cecilia saw Fiona still playing the role of the pitiful white lotus, and almost felt yesterday’s meal come back up.
Even so, all that showed on Cecilia’s face was a slight cold smile.
"Fiona, don’t you want a blessing? Don’t worry, I’ll attend the wedding and I’ll give you that blessing, ensuring you have a lifelong unforgettable wedding memory."
"..."
Why did Cecilia’s words sound so off?
Fiona furrowed her beautiful brows, unable to figure it out momentarily.
However, before she could inquire further, Cecilia abruptly hung up the call.
"See you on the cruise tomorrow."
Fiona: "..."
Was she completely exasperated?
Fiona realized she probably made Cecilia so angry that she lost her decorum and breeding, suppressing the odd sense of unease she felt earlier, her eyes filled with more satisfaction.
She took out her phone for a selfie, snapping three rapid shots and uploading them to Weibo, eagerly reading the lavish praise from everyone, before finally resting peacefully.
Tomorrow morning she’ll head to Isle of Whispers, so she needs a good rest to present herself as the most beautiful bride in the world!
Whatever with Cecilia Vaughn, she will be trampled underfoot from now on!
...
On the next day, those preparing to attend the wedding of The Second Young Master Law and new rising star Fiona Vaughn in the entertainment industry boarded planes early to Isle of Whispers.
Cecilia Vaughn opened her Weibo and saw it already bombarded with photos of Fiona and Tyson Law’s wedding, warming up for the event at 8 PM.
Though the wedding hadn’t started yet, the layout, along with some wedding dresses and dress details, had already been promoted.
The sounds of admiration and blessing were endless under the Weibo posts.
——The most beautiful island in the Northern Vesperian Ocean, Isle of Whispers, usually impossible to get a ticket to, but The Second Young Master Law went big, temporarily renting the entire island, reportedly not allowing outside tourists today.
——So dreamy and romantic, how can there be such a pampering yet handsome heir of a wealthy family, truly a dream man! My goddess Fiona is really blessed!
——Tsk tsk, compare that to Fiona’s sister Cecilia, I always thought she was devious, no wonder The Second Young Master split up with her! She even made a scene at Fiona’s engagement party, and now look at her, a sham marriage, acting all superior!
——Exactly, hope that woman doesn’t show up at the wedding today... but Fiona said she doesn’t blame her sister and that they reconciled. How can Fiona be such a kind and forgiving girl?
——Let’s not talk about those buzzkills... I can’t wait to see Fiona in her bridal gown! Too bad it’s not 8 PM yet, but when it comes, watching Fiona’s wedding live stream, she’ll be breathtaking, and I’ll be glued to the screen!
